Janet Green Funeral Celebrant

Janet Green Funeral Celebrant Conducting bespoke burial, cremation, memorial and scattering of ashes ceremonies. A comforting process, leading to a warm, highly personal funeral service.

Each is created individually and with loving care to reflect the individual and the life they lived. I have spent the last 20 years running my own complementary therapy and counselling business, which has honed my listening skills and sympathetic yet professional manner. My approach is warm, friendly and reassuring. I am a natural story-teller, and ready to go the extra mile to ensure that those who have lost a loved one have the most appropriate, personal ceremony possible. Where they wish to incorporate religious material, I can do so authentically and with real meaning and conviction. I have been through bereavement myself, having lost both of my parents within a few months of each other, and I know how reassuring it is to have confidence in the person putting a funeral ceremony together to honour a loved one. Many families have been kind enough to tell me that this comfort and support, at the saddest of times, is what they have felt when planning a funeral service with me.

THE HOUSE IS NOT THE SAME SINCE YOU LEFT
BY HENRY NORMAL

The house is not the same since you left
The cooker is angry – it blames me
The TV tries desperately to stay busy
But occasionally I catch it staring out of the window
The washing-up’s feeling sorry for itself again
It just sits there saying “What’s the point, what’s the point?
The curtains count the days
Nothing in the house will talk to me
I think your armchair’s dead
The kettle tried to comfort me at first
But you know what its attention span is like
I’ve not told the plants yet
They think you’re still on holiday
The bathroom misses you
I hardly see it these days
It still can’t believe you didn’t take it with you
The bedroom won’t even look at me
Since you left it, it keeps its eyes closed
All it wants to do is sleep
Remembering better times
Trying to lose itself in dreams
It seems like it’s taken the easy way out
But at night I hear the pillows weeping into the sheets.

“I think it's a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. That there isn't their life and our life. Nor your life and my life.
That it's just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled with it as deep as entanglement goes.”

It is such a privilege to do my job.

I don't routinely post these things, but this lovely family wanted me to share their experience with other people who might sadly have to plan a service. They have taken so much time and trouble with what they have written

When someone has gone,
you can bring them back
for just a little while
by talking them into life
by painting a picture
with your memories and your words
breathing their essence
back into existence
for just a few moments.

When someone has gone
you can see them again
for a minute or two
by being all the things they once were
by allowing their best traits
to filter through you
shaping your words,
your thoughts and your deeds
back out into this world.

When someone has gone
you can feel them again
for just a moment
by playing their music
and singing their favourite songs
by giving yourself up to the notes
that brought them alive
once upon a time
it will again.

When someone has gone
you can keep a part of them alive
by giving the love you had for them
a forever place in your life
a forever seat at your table
and a glorious chapter in your book.

Stories never die
tell them.
